Yeah, i did some last friday when some of us met up in Dorchester and the first one you just have to go, F**K it!!! When you bail and find out that it doesn't hurt you can just keep trying. Joe was doing backflips which made me want to push myself to get the front flips done.
Finally had the balls to try a front flip on grass, these are my second attempts, did some in Dorchester on Friday but the video i had taken then got wiped off the memory card so i had to go do some more to get video evidence!
Imagine your holding a football above your head Do an overhead throw and bring your knees into your chest and grab your knees with your hands.
Once you have got the front flip done you can try variations such as splitting your legs on the way over or crossing them on the way over, also try doing a flip without using your arms to grab your legs, i find it much easier to land if i don't grab my knees.
